Objective: To compare perioperative and oncological outcomes between stapler and manual closure in patients undergoing total laryngectomy for advanced endolaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: Patients with advanced endolaryngeal tumours operated between July 2017 and July 2023 were retrospectively dichotomised into stapler closure and manual closure cohorts and compared.
Results: Seventy-one patients with a median age of 57 years were included in our study. The median surgical duration was 270 minutes for the manual closure cohort and 245 minutes for the stapler closure cohort. The pharyngo-cutaneous salivary fistula rate was 6 per cent less in the stapler closure cohort. The estimated mean survival was not significantly different 54.5 months (95 per cent, confidence interval 46.3-62.71) in the manual closure cohort versus 28.12 months (95 per cent, confidence interval 23.6-32.63) in the stapler closure cohort ( = 0.79).
Conclusion: Stapler closure can be used in endolaryngeal tumours, and it reduces operating time, thus facilitating efficient utilisation of operation time with non-inferior oncological outcomes as compared to traditional manual closure.

Background: High-frame-rate echocardiography can identify naturally-occurring mechanical waves (MW). As the velocity of MW is related to tissue properties, this methodology could solve a fundamental shortcoming of echocardiography. However, to be useful clinically, there would need to be limited overlap between the normal range of MW, and measurements associated with pathology such as LV dysfunction and ischemic heart disease.

ObjectiveVascular closure devices (VCDs) are essential in modern neuro-interventional procedures, offering advantages over manual compression by accelerating hemostasis, reducing complications, and enabling early ambulation. The Obtura 8F VCD is a novel bioabsorbable closure device designed to enhance safety and procedural efficiency. This study evaluates its efficacy and safety in achieving hemostasis and preventing vascular complications following femoral artery access.

Purpose: Stapled closure is the standard technique for pancreatic resection via distal pancreatectomy (DP). The Signia™ Stapling System allows for adaptive stapling based on real-time tissue resistance. This study aims to investigate whether DP using the Signia™ system could reduce the incidence of clinically relevant post-operative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF).

To explore the application value of right-opening single flap valvuloplasty based on tubular stomach in gastrointestinal reconstruction after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy. Use a linear cutting stapler to make a parallel curve from the angle of the stomach to the junction of the gastric fundus to remove the lesser curvature of the stomach, and detach the gastric body about 5 cm away from the tumor to create a tubular stomach. Use a marker pen to draw a C-shaped seromuscular flap area with a width of 2.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Celt arterial closure device (ACD), allowing immediate upright position and ambulation within 30 minutes, for femoral access closure in neuroendovascular procedures.
Methods: Single center prospective study of consecutive neuroendovascular procedures performed via transfemoral access over 6 months. The Celt ACD was preferentially used for arterial closure in eligible cases.
